WHAT MAKES A DAD
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad.

To: y'all
Hi-jacking the thread for a second, please bear with me. This is my first Fathers Day with my Daddy residing in Heaven.
Dads? Young and old
love your kids, love them to death. Discipline the little boogers! Unless theyre old and well, hopeless like I was. ;)
Read to them!
LISTEN to them!
Take walks with them!
TEACH them something! Woodworking? Fishing? Hunting? Shooting? Just SOMETHING, spend time to teach them something
and be quiet, let THEM talk
.its amazing what youll learn.
Turn the stupid TV off and go do something with your child!
Eat your meals with your family!
Quietly lead a Godly life so that is ALL they see in their Daddy
.theyll get it, trust me, theyll get it. Theyll always think of their Godly Father by the way you act as their earthly father. Read that again.
My Daddy was, of course !!!!!!!!, the best. That is a very unbiased opinion, so no need to argue with me. Ha!
I know he cant read this, I know he cant see it, but I want to thank him for all he did for me
right till the moment he saw Jesus.
Happy Fathers Day, Daddy!!!
And
this is a song that my nephew put together for his Grandpas funeral. He had all of his cousins send him their best memory of Grandpa. He then put it to music.
Taking us for ice cream, wherever it was sold
Behind Grandmas back, for she would surely scold!
He taught us how to fish to cast and bait the hook
Digging for worms under coffee grounds the best place to look.
Coming to baseball games all summer long
Right behind home plate just to cheer me on.
The cottage gave us memories, that well never lose,
Fish frys and puppet shows, and a good scare too!
Down in the basement where he made the toys
Boats, Ducks, and marble games for us girls and boys.
The Lord gives, the Lord takes away.
Hope will bring us through the hard times in life.
Hope will guide us through all the pain and strife.
Hope is what God gives, to those who call on Him,
Hope is what we have because we will see you again!
He would take long walks through the neighborhood
Flash that goofy smile when he was up to no good
Cribbage was the game that he would always win
He would always change the rules, whatever worked out best for him!
A natural in the garden, planting and pulling weeds
The way that he would whistle will always stay with me
We were all SOOOOO blessed by that man....
